title: [The effect of occlusion time in the measurement of compliance and resistance of the respiratory system using passive expiration in infants].
abstract: In a pilot study we examined the influence of occlusion time on compliance and resistance of the respiratory system in 17 infants. The values were calculated from a passive expiratory flow-volume-curve. Findings suggest that the ideal occlusion time is 300 to 400 msec.
